No, that is an Acropora species, not Montipora setosa. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

how come it does not branch and why are the polyps so big? Sorry for the bad pic. It has polyps like a metor shower coral or something along that lines. You can actually see them if you look really close.. ------------- It's Not a Hobby It's an Obsession 150&210 Gallons of Madness and.

Acropora growth structure depends on a variety of factors: flow, light, species, etc. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

Nikki is such an SPS species legend. I can barely tell the difference between Acro and Monti to begin with
